Identify, understand, and experiment with sig.instructional shifts in Math and ELA

• Principals acting as lead learner and meaning maker

• This content is new to everyone.

• School leaders must help the community make the transition

• District acting as organizer of support - not yet an issue of compliance.

• Everyone in the system needs to appreciate this initiative for what it is, an opportunity to reform education.

• Teachers acting learners and experimenters

• Need opportunities to learn and process these expectations

• Not just a new scope and sequence.

• Recognize this as hard work, worth doing.
